Overview

• Denver officially swapped Michael Porter Jr. and an unprotected 2032 first-round pick to Brooklyn for Cam Johnson, whose contract runs through 2027.
• Cam Johnson averaged a career-high 18.8 points on 47.5 percent shooting and fills Denver’s critical need for three-point shooting beside Jokic.
• Brooklyn adds Porter, a 2023 NBA champion who posted 18.2 points and seven rebounds last season, to accelerate its rebuild and boost its future draft assets.
• The transaction reduces Denver’s salary commitments by roughly $35 million over the next two seasons, enhancing flexibility for further roster moves.
• On the same night, the Nuggets also re-signed free agent guard Bruce Brown Jr. to a one-year deal for veteran depth.
